y o u r
When pulling the cable through cable ducts and channeling, do not
pull on the connectors.
Do not place unnecessary load on the connectors, such as from the
weight of the cable. Relieve the connectors of load by fixing the
cable.
Ensure that cables are not under tension after installation.
In case of outdoor installation, protect the connectors by wrapping
them in waterproof sealing tape.
Cables are not to be kinked or placed under load.

Use lightning protection for outdoor antennas.

When installing antennas outside, the use of suitable surge-protection
adapters is obligatory. These adapters connect outdoor antennas to the
building's lightning-protection system. Surges and differences in
potential are conducted away before damage can occur to sensitive
equipment in the LAN.

Positioning and aligning antennas

Maximizing the transmission and reception performance of an
AirLancer Extender is enhanced by positioning the antenna in such a
way that the irradiated area is as free as possible from obstructions. In
particular for P2P links between two points, obstructions should be
avoided by positioning the antennas appropriately. Obstructions that
can adversely affect transmission quality include: Buildings, trees and
cross-country electrical transmission lines.
When aligning the antennas it is important to consider the associated
radiation characteristics. Further information about lining up antennas
with the help of LANCOM software can be found in the LANCOM WLAN
Outdoor Guide.
Outdoor antennas of the AirLancer Extender product line should

never be directed towards people or animals.
